Re: [Supertraining] Casey Burgener qualifies for the 2008 Olympic Weightlifting Team W.G. Johnson Fri Jul 11 10:39:10 2008 

Sensei Lafon,
I'm not sure you would believe me even if I could properly explain it to you.  
Some strange moves, in regard to qualifying, on the part of the board of USA 
Weightlifting, the US teams position change due to other countries athletes 
getting busted for doping and some other factors. I suggest you call Mike 
Burgener and get him to explain it after you congratulate him  for also being 
the parent/coach of an Olympian.

 Great story on Melanie. Reminds me of my own daughter who has gone  
 through similar experiences making our Olympic team in Judo.
 
 By the way, would you please explain the selection process for making  
 the team? Why only three athletes?
